    That feels sad lol. People like marriage because it feels good and it’s romantic. It’s not supposed to be a business partnership.

    Lemmy man. We need more normies here.

      Love and romance has little to do with the privileges granted by the state. Or do you think people should not be allowed to marry if they are not in love?

        Sure, that’s fine too, but the vast majority of marriages now are based on love. Business arrangements are fine too, they just aren’t what people usually get married for.

            That argument could be turned around. There are other parts of the world other than the East. I get what you’re saying though.

      A wedding and a relationship doesn’t require endorsement by the government. Go have a ceremony, grow old together, but you don’t need your local county clerk having a say in it.
